What we're looking for
What are we looking for?
For our summer internships, we're looking for people who are:
- in their penultimate year of study who are on track for a 2:1 undergraduate degree in computer science or maths, or a related field
- flexible and adaptable in a fast-moving environment
- pragmatic problem solvers who are always curious in their approach to work
- passionate about improving the lives of others through data and technology
- great at working in multi-disciplinary teams
Please note that unfortunately at this time, NHS Digital is unable to offer visa sponsorship to any candidates who will require it within the next five years.
Learning skills that matter
For my internship I was placed in Emergency Care Data working on hospital episode statistics. I really felt part of the team, my opinion was listened to and my contribution valued. The NHS is a complex organisation, and so is NHS Digital with all of our products and services but I got a good understanding of structure on my placement and am proud to have contributed to the fantastic work!
